A close call for Lewis

In the bustle and commotion of a race weekend, the trackside gets noisy. So noisy that the drivers and technical teams communicate via headsets - even when they're together in the same location. On one occasion, during practice, Lewis Hamilton was in conversation with a race engineer from the Mercedes AMG Petronas Motorsport Team. The four-time FIA F1® World Champion pulled into the pit to talk to the engineer in person. But he couldn't find him. Lewis radioed over his headset: "Where are you? I can't see you!"
The engineer was back at the factory in the UK.
Thanks to our global fibre network, Lewis thought the engineer was right there in the pit. And it's this best-in-class technology that gives Mercedes AMG Petronas Motorsport a real competitive advantage.
